In Malawi: The Legacy of Tyranny and Shame author Winston Chakudika Msowoya expresses great disappointment, not only for his own country, Malawi, but for all of Africa.

Produktbeschreibung
In Malawi: The Legacy of Tyranny and Shame author Winston Chakudika Msowoya expresses great disappointment, not only for his own country, Malawi, but for all of Africa. He sees the continent endowed with extensive natural resources, but also with faulty political and economic structures-the upshot being that a sense of hopelessness and despair overshadows the populations. He laments the negligence of many of Africa's leaders to address the grinding poverty among the majority of the people-while the leaders themselves plunder national coffers to satisfy their own selfish ends. Msowoya passionately appeals to the masses of Africa (especially the young) to stand up for their rights and fight the culture of corruption, greed, lust for power, and tribalism-the scourges of Africa. He condemns many African leaders as being inherently coldblooded and corrupt. Hastings Banda of Malawi and Mobutu Sese Seko in the Congo (DRC) are accused of stealing millions from their government treasuries. These two are among many other African leaders targeted by Msowoya's scorn.
Autorenporträt
Winston Chakudika Msowoya, a political activist from his youth, escaped arrest from the notorious and covert police agents in his homeland of Malawi and fled into exile. There he joined exile movements and travelled to many of the most progressive countries in Africa and eastern and western Europe, drumming up moral and material support for the oppressed people of Malawi. He made many friends among exiled liberation movements in South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, the Cape Verde Islands, and Angola. While studying journalism in the former Soviet Union (Russia), he was impressed by the Communist Youth Movement's Manifesto which among other things encouraged communal establishments in Tanzania. He joined the TANU YOUTH LEAGUE (TYL). In Cuba, he was highly impressed by its humane health care and education systems, provided despite a severe economic embargo imposed by the United States - one that has lasted almost five decades. Though living outside his homeland for more than three decades, Msowoya has never abandoned his ancestral culture and traditions. Deep in his heart, he remains a proud African. He is married and has five children and four grandchildren.
